What a bummer. The bottom 1944 badge is numbered 407! Hmm.

That's a shame. Until I turned these documents up there was no way of knowing which badge was awarded to who, or indeed which groups of Meisterschütze badges belonged together, people would just swap out badges for those in a better condition etc.
On a slightly more postive note I also know whose badge that one is. I'll email you.

3 year Gaumeister award
Hi,
Would anyone have an approximate value for the Large, 3 year Gaumeister award? I was offered one locally at $350, but I don't know if that amount is over paying. I tried to find someone on the internet who is selling one to gauge the price, but I can't find one for sale. ThanksComment

The condition of the badge will have an effect on the price, can you get a picture of it?
If you can find out what the number is on the reverse, I can tell you whether it was an awarded piece.
Cheers

Don,
The Number on the reverse is 937. The enamel and badge look great. There was no damage to the enamel, pin. etc....As far as condition goes it looks very much like the link you sent. The wreath was non magnetic and the center and pin were magnetic. ThanksComment

That is an un-awarded piece, these were released onto the collectors market around the time that the old shooting building in Innsbruck was being cleared for demolition. I assume that stores were found within the building. Whatever the story of their discovery, they are genuine pieces, there is no doubt about that.Originally posted by JOHNNY12550 View Post

Very Nice
Superb collection of Tirol Shooting Badges Don. I too appreciate these Badges.
I have a few including the Small Bore Masterclass in 1940. That one like yours is massive and weighty. The earlier ones (like most TR awards) were made well.
